Michael! Now how much goodness can one person find??? Apart from my drooling, I'm starting to itch with horrendous jealousy. I do love your Galaxy ashtray... Congratulations!

This morning, my Skrdlovice collection grew by one as well, though I still can't decide who's the designer or what's the pattern number. It's a slightly oblong plate with a light pink base and light blue body. There are two 'knobs' on the underside and two swirls... the plate is rather small at 27cm at its widest, but weighs quite a bit: 1316g.

And congratuations as well -- what a beautiful plate!I think I will give up searching for pattern nrs. for those early hotworked pieces...

And don't be too jealous -- it costs me lots of time and effort to hunt for my glass on the fleamarkets here; often I go home after an hour without having found a single piece -- or even worse: I buy something I don't really want out of frustration (but I have to admit -- it's great fun, too!)

Anik, you are lucky -- such a great collection!I would love to find a Wiedmann piece once -- but that kind of glass doesn't seem to come my way here.And how envious I was when you found you Matura head vase... :mrgreen:

And one more for my slowly-growing Skrdlovice collection... a splendid topaz and green ashtray with three pulled lobes to the top underside, designed by Rudolf Beranek, pattern number 5464. It's about 18cm wide, 9cm tall and weighs 1432g.

I noticed when I looked for this range in the pattern books, that it should come in blue; but the few I have seen so far all were clear: one in the Pardubice exhibition, tall one in a recent thread (this exact vase is currently available on ebay at a - well - high prize), and the ones on the latest Beranek glassworks website.
